White Plains roads look unkempt

I am sure the citizens of White Plains have noticed the horrible deterioration and condition of the roads and streets in White Plains. If there were a U.N. program to finance poor road conditions in third-world countries, White Plains would be at the top of the list.

One of those roads would be South Broadway, which I have been anticipating would be repaved. To my shock and disbelief I see after massive excavating, it has been re-striped with a "bike lane." At first, the irregular alignment of the white stripe over a ragged road was thought to outline anticipated road work, but no, there were the painted bicycle icons every so often.

Come on White Plains, wake up and remember how much money is flowing into the city coffers and how much is coming out in the form of service.

We are so lucky to have the White Plains Beautification Foundation responsible for all the flower gardens and beds throughout the city, but, to see them bordered by overgrown grass and weeds, compliments of our city government, is too much. Move on to garbage, bulk items and recycling material left on the streets uncollected over the holidays due to poor enforcement of violators. Add unkempt private and city properties and you have a picture of a deteriorating city that is so offensive to those who have always been proud of our city.
